Blizzard is Evil
You know, over the years I have grown to despise Blizzard. Their games are based upon brainwashing the user into the most boring and repetitive tasks, no doubt designed by some psychologist. Its all based upon all your buddies playing, which in turn breeds continual play. The gameplay is far from challenging and relies upon gaining in-game items, which they continually make redundant in order to continue the grind.
While I dont deny a company is in business to make a profit, this one has grown arrogant and very greedy. To add insult to injury this dracula company is taking part in a law suit with MYD that could change the very landscape of software consumer rights, in the guise of an infringement of copyright law.
And the way they operate is best described best in the words of JK Rowling. ' To a goblin, the rightful and true master of any object is the maker, not the purchaser. All goblin-made objects are, in goblin eyes, rightfully theirs... They consider our habit of keeping goblin-made objects, passing them from wizard to wizard without further payment, little more than theft'.
Replace the words goblin and wizard, with Blizzard and Customer respectively and it defines pretty much all the way their online games work. Of course, its common knowledge what nasty creatures goblins are.
And most of the 'lead designers' are truly despised by gamers worldwide. I believe references to Kaplan and his understudy Kalgan have had wikipedia reference editing disabled due to vast numbers of people writing nasty stuff about them.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
